WHAT OTHERS SAY.

TO ABOLISH STATE GOVERNMENTS.
The same Constitution is in force
now under which the Southern
States seeded, and still admits of
the same Interpretation that was put
upon it then. The cardinal princi-
piles of the Constitution-such as re-
late to suffrage, the freedom of
speech and of the press, the right of
peaceable assembl y, and to bear arms,
and the freedom Of religlon-are of
a permanent nature and should be
maintained forever, but experience
has demonstrated that the State gov
crnmcnts as now carried on are no
longer essential to the welfare of this
Republic, and that their further con-
tinuancc is a useless burden upon
the people. The laws should be
uniform throughout the nation.
The Constitution should be revised
so as to do away with all the State
governments and consolidate the Re
public unde~ reformed Federal
government, all officers to be elected
by the direct vote Of the people. -

their influence to have the boycott

Cheaper fuel is the thing to which
the efforts Of the discoveries are most

will last just as long rs, and no long

Her History Mixed. ]

There was very pretty young lady
last summer. who was leading flock
of friends of her own age over the Isles
of Shoals. You will remember that
brave John Smith discovered these
isles. which should, by right. have
borne his name; but he was busy and
restless fellow. who set foot in many
New England hooks, and left his
memory there. as well as in the glades
of Virginia. On Star Island. the most in
teresting of the Shoals, some of the by
gone inhabitants have put up a monu-
ment to Captain Smith. The wording
on it is clumsy and queer. but the kind
ly and right feeling makes up for that.
Our accurate young lady spied the
monument, and piloted the eyes of her
party toward it with her parasol.
That's Smith," she said
..Who's Smith?" asked one of the
grown boys, an unenlightened boy he
was. to be sure.
''Why. it's the Smith that cut off
Pocahontas' head!' she replied, with
extreme ,distrust for his ignorance.
And the last we heard or them, they

Her Majesty has been for some time

These literary assemblies proved so at

The chamois is only occasionally
hunted now, except by skilled hunters
who have been brought up in the busi-
ness, and the little creatures are COM
paratively rare. There are several
varieties of them, but only one distinct
species-the Rupicdpra, found in the
European Alps, from the Pyrenees to
the Caucasus; familiar animal in
the museums, though rarely
seen alive. The channels is about two
feet six inches high at the shoulder,
and three feet in length. The horns
are small, erect and turned at the tips,
giving the little animal a very jaunty
appearance. The hair is a dense,
coarse. brOwnish red, being, as rule,
darker in winter.
They travel in bands of from twenty
to fifty, generally led by doe. the old
bucks leading more solitary life. They
are remarkably active. dashing down
the steepest precipices with sure foot;
and so keen is their scent that it is al
most impossible to approach them. At
the first intimation of danger, the
doe on guard warns the rest by shrill
whistle. at the same time stamping her
feet as if to insure attention. and off
they 60, over places where it would not
be deemed possible. and where hunter,
can not follow. Four-horned chamois
have been found, the two sets of horns
giving the animal a strange appear
ance. This, however, is merely an &C
cidental occurrence.
At certain seasons of the year the
bucks become extremely pugnacious.
and terrific duels are frequently fought
on the tops of the lofty peaks, and often
the defeated chamois has been hurled
by its adversary over the cliff to de-
struction below. while, in the back
ground, the rest of the herd are
anxiously awaiting the termination of
the battle. The colors of both sexes
are about the same. The female
chamois is slightly smaller than the
male. The kids are of deep yellow
ish-brown color. having the under jaw,
both sides of the head and the throat
white. Much of the sO-called chamois
leather comes from these little animals,
that in some parts of Austria are still
found in herds of fifty or more The
beautiful horns are much valued in
Switzerland. where they are made into
ornaments of various kinds, as knife
anu paper-cutter handles, while even
the hoofs are used in many ways. The
chamois is believed to be gradually on
the decrease, and perhaps some of the
present generation may live to see their
total extinction. - Charles Frederick
Holder. in Golden DAYS.

1t is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the
speedy and effectual cure for Colds,
Coughs, and the severest Lung
Troubles. 1t acts upon an entirely
different principle from the prescrip-

as it does not dry up a Cough and
leave the disease still in the system,
but on the contrary removes the
Cause Of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in q purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in

make their appearance, will save
